Abstract: The present invention discloses a dual-band RF transceiver. The transceiver comprises a first module, used as the RF front-end of the dual-band transceiver and used for receiving and transmitting a first RF signal and a second RF signal; a second module, electrically connected to the first module, used as the IF IQ modulator/demodulator of the dual-band RF transceiver; a third module, electrically connected to the first and the second modules, used as the tripe-band phase-locked frequency synthesizer of the dual-band RF transceiver and used for providing a first local oscillating signal and a second local oscillating signal to the first module, and a third local oscillating signal to the second module. The dual-band RF transceiver according to the present invention realizes the dual-band triple-mode operation of IEEE802.11 a/b/g by a single dual-band RF module, and therefore the circuit size, power dissipation, component count, and cost can be dramatically reduced.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a gain amplifier, capable of concurrently operating at three different frequency bands. The gain amplifier comprises an amplification stage for amplifying a signal applied to an input of the amplifier and a triple-band resonance load connected between a DC bias voltage and a DC bias input of the amplification stage. The triple-band resonance load uses a set of reactive elements to provide match in a first frequency band, a second frequency band and in a third frequency band, such as at 2.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz and 9.0 GHz. According to the gain amplifier of the present invention, it can effectively provide triple-band signal amplification and in-band interference suppression for various multi-standard coexist communication systems.
